Historically, soda has been pizza's go-to partner, but those who fancy juices understand that a proper juice match can take a pizza indulgence to greater heights. Here at HarborCliff, in collaboration with local connoisseurs, we've devised juice match recommendations that flawlessly align with our offerings. Whether you're savoring a meal within our premises or relishing a takeaway in the comfort of your abode, these proposals will aid you in discovering the ultimate juice for your preferred variety of pizza.
Traditional Margherita: Juice of Tomato Basil or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita pizza, with its bright tomatoes, smooth mozzarella, and aromatic basil, pairs nicely with a juice that isn't too dominant. Tomato basil juice brings a lively tang that echoes the pizza's tomatoes and is robust enough to stand next to the cheese. A pomegranate juice blend is a lighter alternative, delivering sweet fruity notes that uplift the tomatoes' sweetness while melding well with the basil's green notes.
Our precise pairing: The signature Tomato Basil Cooler is our go-to with our Margherita, or if you have a penchant for sweetness, a Pomegranate Blueberry blend sourced from local purveyors.
Sausage and Meat Lover's Choice: Spicy Cherry Juice or Blackcurrant
Meat-heavy pizzas such as those with pepperoni or sausage call for juices that can match their assertive taste. A Spicy cherry juice, with its fruit-forward and peppery tones, beautifully stands up against the meats' salinity and heat. Blackcurrant juice provides a good alternative with its hearty dark berry flavors and a tart finish that cuts through the meat's fat.
Our precise pairing: With our Meat Feast pizza, patrons particularly relish our home-brewed Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme.
Fungi Pizza with Truffle: Beet Juice or Forest Berry
For pizzas sprinkled with earthy mushrooms and truffle, choose juices with corresponding profiles. Beetroot juice, with its subtly grounded notes, superbly partners with mushroom flavors, while providing a sweet counterbalance to the savory qualities. A forest berry blend is equally appealing, developing intricate berry flavors that resonate with the pizza's grounded essence.
Our precise pairing: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is nicely complemented by Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Specialty Pizza: Citrus Blend or Sea Buckthorn
Crisp, mineral-like juices are perfect for complementing seafood-topped pizzas. A vibrant citrus mix refreshes while lifting the seafood's flavors, and its zest lightens the dining experience. Sea buckthorn juice is another stellar selection with high acidity, exotic profile, and subtle tartness that supports the seafood without dominating it.
Our precise pairing: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza matches delightfully with a zesty Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Ultimate Veggie Pizza: Green Juice Detox or Cucumber Melon
Veggie pizzas are a symphony of tastes that pair well with herbal and versatile juices. A green detox juice brimming with spinach, celery, and apple supports and intensifies the flavors of bell peppers and other veggies. A juice of cucumber melon provides a delicate freshness and a lightness that can uphold various vegetable textures without overwhelming them.
Our precise pairing: Our Garden Harvest pizza is perfectly in sync with a Daily Green Detox or a chilled Cucumber Melon Refresh.
Cheese Quartet Pizza: Almond or Sparkling Apple
The lusciousness of a four-cheese pizza can be matched with a drink that either complements or contrasts. Creamy almond milk resonates with the nutty flavors in the cheese blend, while a sparkling apple juice contrasts with effervescence and tartness to slice through the richness, setting a fruity backdrop to the savory cheeses.
Our precise pairing: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza goes hand in hand with Vanilla Almond Milk or a bubbly Sparkling Apple Crisp.
Fiery Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
For pizzas intensified by chili, spicy sausage, or hot honey, soothing creamy or spicy juices provide relief. Mango lassi's cooling character and creamy texture mute the heat between bites. Ginger turmeric juice holds its own against the spiciness while offering an alluring contrast in flavor, along with anti-inflammatory attributes.
Our precise pairing: Our Spicy Diavola pizza is impeccably complemented by a Homemade Mango Lassi or a Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Sweet Treat Pizza: Berry Smoothie or Almond Chocolate
For those bold enough to sample our dessert pizzas teeming with Nutella and fruit, sweet beverages are a must. Berry smoothies add to the delectable quality of fruit-laden dessert pizzas, whereas almond chocolate milk pairs divinely with chocolate and hazelnut variants, ensuring the beverage is just as sweet as the confection.
Our precise pairing: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is blissfully married to a Triple Berry Blast or a luscious Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
